Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Outlook. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the L/GATE relay.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the relay coil ground circuit terminal and ground while pressing the Exterior Liftgate Switch.
- If greater than the specified range, test for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the Liftgate Release Relay Control terminal and the relay coil ground circuit terminal.
- Command the Liftgate Release ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the L/GATE relay.
